Yeah not using lamb for this was a travesty. Everything about these Greek flavor combinations are designed around lamb. This is the equivalent of a goat meat Big Mac.
I love to cook. I fell on some really bad times years ago and was homeless in 2018. I would watch your videos in my car or in whatever building I could keep warm at. Your whit and dedication to cooking has been and still is an inspiration to us all. Thank you STCG for being a breath of fresh air on the internet!! I have used a lot of your recipes at home. I even have others inspired to cook!
So Max, I like you a lot and everything, but I LIKE SCALLOPS and other fish/shellfish almost as much, and have often wondered why you guys don't do more of that. When you say to Sam "Our audience doesn't like seafood", please follow that assertion with, "...except the undoubtedly vast numbers of our viewers who do, and would love to see us work with it" Thank you
I’m so down for shrimp, scallops, and lamb. And split screen to see Max’s faces, but I can’t believe one of Sam’s children would ever question their father’s culinary decision making. 🤣🤣🤣
You absolutely should include more seafood oriented recipes. Shrimp, lobster, crab, scallops, clams, you name it! I promise you there's a portion of your audience that will appreciate it and I'm one of them. And, I've taken tons of inspiration and followed numerous recipes of yours. Your channel truly is inspiring and my family thanks you - because they're the beneficiaries of my efforts to follow your recipes. 🙏
Imagine that with ground lamb, its specific flavor blending with the cumin and dill. And briefly frying the pita in its luxurious fat, my o my. Don't eat the same thing all the time Max.
As a longtime fan and supporter of the channel, I need to say this. Smash month was a great idea that Max had. It was enjoyable and turned out great. After watching this video, I see the need for a 'Fuck Max' month (or possibly a 'Fuck Max' year), where Sam gets to make whatever he wants, can use ingredients Max hates, can take two bites without Max whining about it, doesn't have to manipulate the food with his left hand for the benefit of Max's camera, etc.
Really like this. I might have just smashed it with the press, and added the pita bread, after the flip, so both side of the meat had some crust, because crust = flavor.
Tzatziki is my favorite sauce/condiment. Relatively healthy and light, easy to make, and pairs well with most/all meats. But I grate it and squeeze out the water (but using regular cucumber - not sure what this low-water one is, but that's pretty cool).
I feel like I’d HAVE to smash it on my griddle and cook it for a few seconds before I put it on the Pita, then continue as so. :) But I’m one of those ppl who has to have my meat well done, and I couldn’t get past what’s going on between the burger and the pita side that didn’t touch the grill, but I may definitely try it my way soon.:) Looks delish with that tzatziki sauce!!👍🫓🥒
As always Sam with another great recipe/video I’m so glad I found this channel it’s therapeutic, funny, and educational all in one lol keep up the work Sam
Sam... we will all do lamb, as that would be more appropriate for this. Max doesnt know what he is talking about. when he cooks he can decided the recipe
It definitely shoulda been lamb lmao Max should stick to cameras not telling you how to cook 😭😭still looks fantastic but if I try this, it'll be with lamb!
Best seasoning on your shows is your humor, glad you guys have fun cooking and kidding! Makes it more enjoyable to watch and complete your shows. I love cooking myself and I search for new recipes and tips. We don't eat out much because the foods are pretty much processed and preserved so we think it's not healthy to feed our boys and ourselves to give examples to eating healthy. Thank you for taking the time to share. Was raised in the great Pacific Northwest and can hear the accent of Canadian in your words. Right on and cook on!
Sam, the recent top ten restaurants in the world has come out and Peru has 2 of them. My wife is Peruvian and would love to see you go for some classic Peruvian dishes like Lomo Saltado, Aji de Gallina, and ceviche. You can throw in a pisco sour and chicha morada for good measure!
Looks like a winner! Substitute the pita flatbread for a Joseph's Lo-carb Pita and the whole sandwich is low carb. Nice quick tasty recipe for a flattop!
FUNNY, I'm the Executive Chef at Off Broadway Live in Santee. I keep telling the Owner of the theater we need to do seafood. He says NO!!!! The Customers don't want it. HA, little does he know, they ask for it all the time. HE DON'T LIKE IT SO I CAN'T SERVE IT!
Scallops wrapped in bacon!! Shrimp, wrapped in bacon!! Lamb wrapped in bacon!! Because why the heck not? Sam, if you make it, they will come; Because it will be delicious. Oh yes.
Sam I have recently been diagnosed with an auto immune disorder that makes me go low sodium. Could you make a dish that is low sodium and not like Crazy low portions that actually tastes good because I am finding it a challenge. Or maybe even a few dishes would be great. To be clear someone with low sodium can only have 2000 mg of sodium a day, so a portion would be roughly a third of that.
We are going to SanDiego on 30 June foe a few days. We are going to NOT NOT Tacos. We know you have other restaurants there, but we have wanted to go to this one for a long time. Love your show, I have your knife and cast iron skillets. Thanks!!
I hope your British cucumber was nice and cheap ! Over here in the uk they have trebled in price over the last 12 mnths because of greedy bastard farmers and supermarket executives !!!
The counter says you've only had two views, and yet there are 11 comments? WTF? Anyway, that looked delicious, I love all those Mediterranean flavors, and Max is wrong about lamb.
I only wish I could. My wife developed a severe allergy to scallops after we were married and I won’t even bring them into the house. I have to live vicariously.
Sam's view on salting cucumber is correct. I salted and squeezed mine forever before pickling. Last time I did it I completely forgot. The taste and crunch after eating? Better than the conventional recipe! Try it, you might like it!
Stop listening to Max, this would’ve been two billion and seven times better with a combo of ground lamb and ground veal! As Sam would say, “Holy ESS!!” Seriously, I’m sure the beef was delicious… but LAMB!! And a combo of LAMB and VEAL!! C’mon man!!
This channel’s recipes shouldn’t be limited to Max’s palate. WE WANT LAMB AND SHRIMP AND SCALLOPS!
Hear hear. Screw Max
We want lamb, we want prawns, we want scallops
Let Max starve, get some decent meat
yes please, i finally want something different. the recipes kinda feel repetetive if its always the same meat etc
Yeah not using lamb for this was a travesty. Everything about these Greek flavor combinations are designed around lamb. This is the equivalent of a goat meat Big Mac.
I just watched the intro and I'm immediately thinking of a garlic naan smash....
with lamb.
Yes! I’ve already got the Nan and lamb in the freezer. Lunch is set for tomorrow:))
I like the way you think!
I just made this last night what a fluke!
I am making this exact thing for dinner right now lol
@@ariliving I made this on the day it came out and it was pretty awesome.
Max can't help the fact that he has the palate of a first grader 😆
I love to cook. I fell on some really bad times years ago and was homeless in 2018. I would watch your videos in my car or in whatever building I could keep warm at.

Doing the same thing now!
❤
Nice made up story
@@haynej3 not made up. Despite your cynicism, still got love for you. ✌🏾
@@haynej3you felt the need to say this because? Have you not driven through most major cities over the past few years?
I wholeheartedly vote FOR split screen to get Sam's perspective as well
AGREED. It should even be a regular thing!
Hell yes!
Damn yes!
Yes!
Quit yer cryin!
Lol J/K!
I second said motion for split screen!
I want to make this with LAMB! Love lamb burgers... anything lamb...YUM! And yes, I love shrimp and scallops too!!!
Definitely should have went with the lamb
Lamb burgers grilled on coal is the best, no beef burger can taste that good.
More lamb! More shrimp! More scallops!
agreed... lil man just needs to suck it up...
So Max, I like you a lot and everything, but I LIKE SCALLOPS and other fish/shellfish almost as much, and have often wondered why you guys don't do more of that.

Maybe he's adopted. Or the mailman's. 😁
@@rogermccaslin5963 That's what she said! 🤣
This would be awesome with lamb, which I love. Max can just suck it up. And yes, please to more shrimp.

@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2
Like Mark Twain, I would prefer hell for the company, thanks all the same. I'll deal with the climate.
I’m in Greece and you just made me go to a pita store and make them to do THAT,freaking amazing man,thank you
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 Nope, not worth it.
Lamb, shrimp, scallops, bison, venison, wild boar, pheasant, tuna, goose, WHATEVER!! Feel free to cook proteins beyond the big 3, we will watch!
Imagine that with ground lamb, its specific flavor blending with the cumin and dill. And briefly frying the pita in its luxurious fat, my o my. Don't eat the same thing all the time Max.

We've been doing this with naan and it's quite tasty. Your recipe is much easier. Thanks

Hello Sam
Make your own version of the New Haven-style white clam🍕
Cheers from San Diego California
I feel like I’d HAVE to smash it on my griddle and cook it for a few seconds before I put it on the Pita, then continue as so. :) But I’m one of those ppl who has to have my meat well done, and I couldn’t get past what’s going on between the burger and the pita side that didn’t touch the grill, but I may definitely try it my way soon.:) Looks delish with that tzatziki sauce!!👍🫓🥒
I agree. Wouldn’t the pita side of the burger still be uncooked? I like my burgers medium well.
Yeah it weirds me out that the raw meet touches the pita
Should’ve been lamb…who knew, the chef, and not the cameraman would be right about the food! 😂
"and now we mix, with our hands" - I could feel Max getting upset through the camera.
As always Sam with another great recipe/video I’m so glad I found this channel it’s therapeutic, funny, and educational all in one lol keep up the work Sam
True!
This.... Will go into the library. What's next? Pita smash burritos or maybe Carne Asada?
Not only would this have been better with lamb, but there was way too much editing. Doesn't Max know that we like to watch everything Sam does?
What!?? I, for one, LOVE shrimp and scallops!!!
Sam... we will all do lamb, as that would be more appropriate for this. Max doesnt know what he is talking about. when he cooks he can decided the recipe
Boom, roasted!
This channel surprisingly helped me lose weight!
Not sure how lol with the not so healthy meals.
cap
U fronting GAWD 🤦🏻♂️😭
No fast food, and you know where your ingredients come from. 💪🏽💪🏽 portioning. Period
@@derontucker7173 amen 🙏🏻 exactly what I’m talking about
Bad ass dude 😎 always making amazing food thanks
Gunna have to be days to go above max and do the lamb, scallops, and shrimp. I think we’ve all been waiting for some more of that!
Bring on the shrimp, scampi, and lamb. Do it while Max is on vacation or something. Lol!
C’mon Max! Lamb wouldv’e been soooooo good!
I the words of Sam the Cooking Guy. Holy S that looks amazing.
I love this guy.
Lamb all the way Sam. Shame on Max. Looks delicious nonetheless. Keep these brillant dishes coming my fellow countryman. Love from Montréal. ❤
Shrimps, scallops and lamb can make great dishes. Don't listen to young people too much. Even... fish can be awesome... ;) !
Holy cow. I saw this recipe on a Russian cooking channel a couple weeks ago. Kinda crazy how food trends transcend borders and cultures.
Looks amazing! But would be even more perfect with ground lamb! Suck it Max !
It definitely shoulda been lamb lmao Max should stick to cameras not telling you how to cook 😭😭still looks fantastic but if I try this, it'll be with lamb!
Who's in charge? You or Max? I am pretty sure it is supposed to be 'Sam the cooking Guy'. Time to put on your big boy pants and assert your authority!

Made these just last night! The only difference is we used ground lamb instead of beef. They are as tasty as they look!
Did you flip the meat, in order to crust both sides, before adding the pita?
No. I just made it thin and laid it on the pita and then cooked the one side. It cooked all the way through with no issues. It does cook quickly.
Give me all the lamb and scallops Sam!
Sam, the recent top ten restaurants in the world has come out and Peru has 2 of them. My wife is Peruvian and would love to see you go for some classic Peruvian dishes like Lomo Saltado, Aji de Gallina, and ceviche. You can throw in a pisco sour and chicha morada for good measure!
And papas huancaín!
Can’t wait to make that this week!
Sam, they make camera glasses! Get them, please! We want to have your view!!
Not gonna lie, I still want a seafood smash burger. With fresh herbs, a ranch-based dressing, and maybe some buttery brioche.
Seafood what? 🤢
@@Charles-d4e3b It's basically Ocean food. Try it out sometime, it has a bunch of omega 3 oils to help with your lack of intelligence.
YES YES YES YES YES YES PLEASE!!!!! 🔥
Shoulda been Lamb sam. Don't let him push you around
Looks like a winner! Substitute the pita flatbread for a Joseph's Lo-carb Pita and the whole sandwich is low carb. Nice quick tasty recipe for a flattop!
This seems like such a good riff on smash burgers, i gotta try it
Love your content Sam! Keep it going. Thank you
FUNNY, I'm the Executive Chef at Off Broadway Live in Santee. I keep telling the Owner of the theater we need to do seafood. He says NO!!!! The Customers don't want it. HA, little does he know, they ask for it all the time. HE DON'T LIKE IT SO I CAN'T SERVE IT!
You've a good singing voice Sam!!
Scallops wrapped in bacon!! Shrimp, wrapped in bacon!! Lamb wrapped in bacon!! Because why the heck not? Sam, if you make it, they will come; Because it will be delicious. Oh yes.
One of the best looking things youve made in quite some time. Im gonna need to try this out
Yes!
Good size and amount of ingredients....not too complex, just right.
Sam I have recently been diagnosed with an auto immune disorder that makes me go low sodium. Could you make a dish that is low sodium and not like Crazy low portions that actually tastes good because I am finding it a challenge. Or maybe even a few dishes would be great.

We are going to SanDiego on 30 June foe a few days. We are going to NOT NOT Tacos. We know you have other restaurants there, but we have wanted to go to this one for a long time. Love your show, I have your knife and cast iron skillets. Thanks!!
🌮 love you ❤️ and I love to share you with my friends ‼️ carry on with all your goodness 🤓
I don't care what anyone says, uncle Sam can SING 🎉
Where do I find your written recipes? Some I find and others I can't find. Like this one! What am I doing wrong? Can't wait to try this!!!!
I hope your British cucumber was nice and cheap ! Over here in the uk they have trebled in price over the last 12 mnths because of greedy bastard farmers and supermarket executives !!!
Hidden camera, Sam. Don’t let him see it because he will not make the faces! 😂😂😂
Is there a place to get the ingredients list for this? That way I don’t have to watch 400times to catch everything. Please and thank you!:)
The counter says you've only had two views, and yet there are 11 comments? WTF? Anyway, that looked delicious, I love all those Mediterranean flavors, and Max is wrong about lamb.
I love shrimp and scallops f you max lol
Max is right though. If i wanted to see lamb in pitta bread, I'd go to a turkish kebab. Smash burger twist? you've got me interested.
Looks fantastic...are you guys going to hop on the recent Big Mac Taco trend? You could make this into another series too
Damn Sam, after hearing you "sing".....don't give up your day job! Lol
We did similar except with tortilla and topped it like a taco. Can’t remember exactly what they called them, but I call them taco burgers.
I was right there as you took a bite I almost hit my head on the screen 😁😁
CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THE PITA!!!! SOOO VERSATILE!!!
Where can I find this recipe to refer to so I don 't have to keep watching the video? Thank you.
If you would have added a few more spices in, you could have called it a shwarma burger or a gyro burger.
As one of your many subscribers. Love lamb, shrimp and scallops. Cook away
You and Max should start a new show where you both switch jobs and see how long that lasts.
We must get American cucumbers here in the UK because ours don't look like that 😂😂🤣
@4:10 Can you imagine if that was lamb being smashed with the pita? And it seems wrong to put feta on without lamb.
What do you have against lamb? It's fkn delicious!!
Wow, Sam is a jazz fan! That song he sang at the end is actually a jazz classic by the name of « All of Me » (with different lyrics, obviously 🙂)
Indeed! Well spotted Alex! And don't mention, "All Of Me" the hilarious Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin Movie! "Put Edwina back in bowl"!
I love seafood. More shrimp. Please. And lamb? Get over it Max!
Please, Sam must always sing about the food when using the spinny table! Gold baby!
I think I would need a bib to eat this juicy burger! Love the way it comes together with a different flavors. 😎
Scallops are a joy when properly prepared. A little lemon, Italian hot sauce and soy sauce for a quick marinade or just good ol' bacon wrapped
I only wish I could. My wife developed a severe allergy to scallops after we were married and I won’t even bring them into the house. I have to live vicariously.
i have the ingredients for the salad. will make now for lunch
" I say F*ck you to conventional wisdom" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 love the whole up close with beef on pita after it was flipped
This looks amazing guys!!! I will definitely make this puppy!!!!!!
Sam's view on salting cucumber is correct. I salted and squeezed mine forever before pickling. Last time I did it I completely forgot. The taste and crunch after eating? Better than the conventional recipe! Try it, you might like it!
Ground lamb / lamb burgers absolutely rock!!
1. split screen
2. lamb
Listen to you dad.
Lamb and shrimp are the tits. Max needs to grow up.
Ground lamb would have made this so much better.
Bring on the lamb! The shrimp! The scallops!
Hahaha Sam said "jizzel" of lemon.🤣
Sam - the singing has to go. You sounded like a priest
add some fresh mint. I promise it's a game changer.
*Should of mixed ground lamb with the burger*
Stop listening to Max, this would’ve been two billion and seven times better with a combo of ground lamb and ground veal! As Sam would say, “Holy ESS!!”
Seriously, I’m sure the beef was delicious… but LAMB!! And a combo of LAMB and VEAL!! C’mon man!!
That looks so delish......now I have to make it.
